# Write to file, include BootMii:
letterbomb.write(mac="mac address", region="region letter", output_file="letterbomb.zip")
# Write to file, exclude BootMii:
letterbomb.write(mac="mac address", region="region letter", pack_bundle=False, output_file="letterbomb.zip")

python3 -m letterbomb -h

# To include BootMii
python3 -m letterbomb MAC REGION -b -o output.zip

# To enable logging debug
python3 -m letterbomb MAC REGION -g debug -o output.zip

# To use a file for logging output
python3 -m letterbomb MAC REGION -l logfile.txt -o output.zip

Documentation

Most casual users should refer to the ReadTheDocs page.

Some may want to build the documentation manually. To do this:

git clone https://gitlab.com/whoatemybutter/letterbomb.git
cd letterbomb/docs
make html
xdg-open _build/html/index.html

If you prefer one-liners, there is one below:

git clone https://gitlab.com/whoatemybutter/letterbomb.git && cd letterbomb/docs && make html && xdg-open _build/html/index.html

Before re-building the documentation, you should also run make clean to prevent stale files from remaining in newer builds.

To read about the exploit itself in more detail, please read this article.
